One thing which annoys me is that Emacs seems to ignore .Xdefaults if there's anything in the server's xrdb database -- and recent versions of gnome, put crap in the xrdb database without being asked to.
? It was my understanding (which could be flawed) that applications never look at .Xdefaults, it's up to you to do an
xrdb -merge .XdefaultsThat happens once at login time automatically*, and if gnome or kde overwrite stuff post that time (as you say gnome does and kde can be optionally configured to, to partially apply your kde theme to non-kde applications, something that never works right of course, but in the kde case you can at least turn it off...), then it's up to you to re-merge ?
